NOVEL PROPENONE DERIVATIVES CONTAINING

AROMATIC RINGS, A MAUFACTURING PROCESS THEREOF

AND A COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE SAME USING AS

AN ANTIINFLAMMATORY AGENT Technical Field [1] The present invention relates to novel propenone derivatives containing aromatic ring, a manufacturing process thereof and a composition containing the same using as an anti-inflammatory agent. [2] Background Art [3] Inflammation and pain occur as a secondary symptoms associated with direct symptom or infection. There has been found that those are closely correlated with the reproduction of arachidonic acid metabolite therefore much of interests have been focused on their mechanism till now. Where cells are received with some stimulus phospholipase, especially PLA (phospholipase A ) present in various cells or tissues such as cellular membrane, granule, secreted fluid etc in all bacteria and animals, hydrolyzes ester linked fatty acid with sn-2 position of glycero-phospholipid located in cellular membrane to produce unsaturated fatty acid and lysophospholipid. In particular, it has been reported PLA2 enzyme to act on the release of ester type arachidonic acid (A. A) bound to 2 position of cellular membrane phospholipid as an rate determining enzyme and then the A.A is metabolized to reproduce various eicosanoids such as PGs (prostaglandins), TXs (Thromboxanes), LTs (Leukotrienes) (Murakami M. et al., Reviews in Immunology, 12, pp225-283, 1997; Verheij H. M. et al., Rev. Physiol. Biochem. Pharmacol., 91, pp92-117, 1998). The eicosanoids is reported to show various physiological actions for example, vasodilation activity, vascular permeation activity, bronchial asthma, chemotactic activity to inflammatory cell such as neutrophil, macrophage at al, or anaphylaxis (Lynn W. S. et al., Am. J. Pathol, 96, p663, 1979; Vadas P. et al., Life ScL, 36, pl721, 1980) and to be correlated with various physiological activity such as the mucosal protection in gastro- intestine, the regulation of normal kidney function or reproductive organs (Kam P. C. A. et al., Anaesthesia, 55, pp442-449, 2000; Cellotti F. et al., Pharmacological Research, 43(5). pp429-436, 2001). On the other hand, the released lysophospholipid by PLA2 enzyme is bound to acetyl group at sn-2 position by the action of lyso PAF acetyl reductase enzyme, an inflammatory mediator. [4] The reproduction of PGs and TXs is induced by COXs (Cyclooxygenases) (Urade Y. et al., /. Biol. Chem., 262 p3820, 1987; Urade Y. et al., /. Immunol, ML p2982, 1989) and there are two iso-forms of COXs, i.e., COX-I and COX-2 which show about 70 kDa of M. W. and about 60% similarity in amino acid sequence between each other. [5] The role of COX-I in cells is to reproduce various prostanoids essential in regulating their house keeping activity, for example, the reproduction of platelet induced TXA2, vascular endothelial cells induced anti-thrombogenic prostacycline, renal blood flow regulating prostanoid etc (Kramer, S. A. et al, Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 293. p391, 1992). COX-2 which induces PG production at inflammatory site, is immediately induced by various factors such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, growth factor, LPS (lipo-polysaccharide), phorbol ester, c-AMP-elevated factor, and some G- protein coupled agonist et al (Xie, W et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA, 88, p2691, 1991; Fletcher B. S. et al., /. Biol. Chem., 268, p9049, 1993). While the anti¬ inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic action of world- widely available anti¬ inflammatory drug i.e., NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) results from the inhibition of COX-I, the drug gives rise to various adverse action such as gastric disorder etc caused thereby (Seeds M. C. et al., Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology, \J_, pp5-26, 1999). Besides various COXs, various LOXs (lypoxygenase) known as a SRA-A (Slow Reacting Substance of Anaphylaxis) are synthesized from A.A by the action of 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase) enzyme having about 78kDa of M.W., which are classified into 8-LOX, 12-LOX, 15-LOX etc according to the position of substrate oxidizing residue (Silverman E. S. et al., Proceeding of Association of American Physicians, 116(6). pp525-536, 1999). [6] NO (Nitric oxide) is produced by the conversion from L-arginine to L-citrulline by the action of NOS (Nitric Oxide Synthase) and the NOS is classified into eNOS, nNOS and iNOS (Nathan C, FASEB J., 6, pp3051-3064, 1992). The NO, a gas phase free radical which is induced by the action of iNOS activity caused by the LPS stimulation, an bacterial endotoxin existed in the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria or various cytokines, relates to various physiological action such as neuronal transmission, blood vessel maintenance, tumor removal etc as well as causes to various diseases for example, septic shock, de-myelination diseases such as oligodendrocyte generation and neuronal degenerative disease, multiple sclerosis (MS) in case of it s overproduction (Nathan C. et al., /. Biol. Chem., 269, ppl3725-13728, 1994; Chen Y. C. et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, ppl821-1832, 2003). Additionally, the other in¬ flammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor), IL lbeta (Interleukin I beta) etc are induced thereby. TNF-alpha, principle cytokine, shows various physiological actions such as, fever, shock, macrophage activation, an- giogenesis, bone resorption, cytotocicity to the many cells, polymorph chemotoxin irritation etc. IL 1-beta is also correlated with various inflammatory expression and the mechanism of iNOS mediated by cytokine has been not identified till now. Those in¬ flammatory cytokines such as TNF- alpha and IL 1-beta have been reported to express iNOS through NF-kappa B activation by binding to their binding receptors correlated therewith (Kim Y. M. et al., Nitric oxide, 5£5}, pp504-513, 2001). NF-kappa B remained in inactivated form by binding to protein, activates various MAPKs (Mitogen- activated Protein Kinases) by the signal transduction such as LPS inducement and the activated NF-kappa B by I kappa B alpha dissociation, in¬ corporates into inner nuclear, which regulates various gene expression of iNOS as well as cytokines as a transcription factor (Siebenlist U. et al., Annu. Rev. Cell. Biol, JO, pp405-455, 1994; Lukiw W. J. et al., /. Neurol.sci. Res., 53, pp583-592 1998). [7] [8] Therefore, the present inventors have endeavored to develop novel anti¬ inflammatory agents through modifying the basic structure of Selebrex and syn¬ thesizing aromatic ring comprising propenone derivatives, and have found that they show potent anti-inflammatory activity confirmed by various experiments such as the inhibition test of COX and 5-LOX enzyme activity and the reproduction of TNF-alpha and IL 1-betta.
